Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A communication management server for visit auto-bookmarking, the communication management server comprising: a memory storing a set of instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: receive, from a plurality of user devices, communication messages associated with a group communication session; store the communication messages in a communication content database; provide, upon receiving a first display instruction from a user device, communication messages for display on the user device from the communication content database; generate a visit bookmark indicating at least one of currently displayed communication messages when a current display is suspended; and provide, upon receiving user selection of the visit bookmark, communication messages following the bookmarked message for display on the user device.

2

2. The communication management server according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: determine a number of communication messages following the bookmarked message.

3

3. The communication management server according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: visually distinguish the communication messages provided for display following the bookmarked message from communication messages displayed prior to the bookmarked message.

4

4. The communication management server according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: add a time marker to the visit bookmark, the time marker indicating a time when the visit bookmark is generated.

5

5. The communication management server according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: provide the visit bookmark with the time marker for display on a user interface indicating user visit history.

6

6. The communication management server according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: receive a visit bookmark delete instruction from the user device; and delete the visit bookmark from the user visit history.

7

7. The communication management server according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: generate a plurality of visit bookmarks corresponding to a plurality of display suspension operations; and provide a predetermined number of visit bookmarks for display on the user device.

8

8. The communication management server according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: edit information associated with the generated visit bookmark based on user input.

9

9. The communication management server according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: receive a visit bookmark disable instruction from the user device; and suspend generation of visit bookmarks.

10

10. A communication management method for visit auto-bookmarking, the method comprising: receiving, from a plurality of user devices, communication messages associated with a group communication session; storing the communication messages in a communication content database; providing, upon receiving a first display instruction from a user device, communication messages for display on the user device from the communication content database; generating a visit bookmark indicating at least one of currently displayed communication messages when a current display is suspended; and providing, upon receiving user selection of the visit bookmark, communication messages following the bookmarked message for display on the user device.

11

11. The communication management method of claim 10 , further comprising: determining a number of communication messages following the bookmarked message.

12

12. The communication management method of claim 10 , further comprising: visually distinguishing the communication messages provided for display following the bookmarked message from communication messages displayed prior to the bookmarked message.

13

13. The communication management method of claim 10 , further comprising: adding a time marker to the visit bookmark, the time marker indicating a time when the visit bookmark is generated.

14

14. The communication management method of claim 10 , further comprising: providing the visit bookmark with the time marker for display on a user interface indicating user visit history.

15

15. The communication management method of claim 14 , further comprising: receiving a visit bookmark delete instruction from the user device; and deleting the visit bookmark from the user visit history.

16

16. The communication management method of claim 10 , further comprising: generating a plurality of visit bookmarks corresponding to a plurality of display suspension operations; and providing a predetermined number of visit bookmarks for display on the user device.

17

17. The communication management method of claim 10 , further comprising: editing information associated with the generated visit bookmark based on user input.

18

18. A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a set of instructions, which are executable by at least one processor of a communication management apparatus to perform a communication management method for visit auto-bookmarking, the method comprising: receiving, from a plurality of user devices, communication messages associated with a group communication session; storing the communication messages in a communication content database; providing, upon receiving a first display instruction from a user device, communication messages for display on the user device from the communication content database; generating a visit bookmark indicating at least one of currently displayed communication messages when a current display is suspended; and providing, upon receiving user selection of the visit bookmark, communication messages following the bookmarked message for display on the user device.

19

19. The communication management server according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one of currently displayed communication messages is selected based on user input.

20

20. The communication management server according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: provide, for display on the user device, the visit bookmark and at least a portion of the bookmarked message.
